Question: Desperate for answers to questions about acne. Plz plz plz read ?
Answers:
I'm 17 as well with combination/oily skin and I've been dealing with cystic acne for around 4 years now, nothing too serious. I managed to basically clear up 2 years ago but I had a crazy breakout at the end of October last year. This is what works for me:
2 years ago I started cleansing twice a day with a Clean&Clear cleanser with salicylic acid. I can't remember what it's called now. Followed that with Neutrogena On-The-Spot treatment and a Neutrogena moisturizer. So basically that's salicylic acid + 2.5% benzoyl peroxide + moisturizer. I suggest first trying Cetaphil cleanser for sensitive skin followed up with a generous amount of 2.5% benzoyl peroxide all over the face. Let the benzoyl peroxide sink in and follow up with a non-comedogenic moisturizer of your choice. Do this twice a day.
Right now what's keeping me clear is a bit more complicated, but this helped me beat that insane breakout 5 months ago:
-Morning: cleanse with Cetaphil
exfoliate with baking soda
diluted apple cider vinegar toner
neutrogena visibly even moisturizer
-Evening: cleanse with Neutrogena Rapid Clear Foaming Cleanser
Queen Helene Mint Julep Masque every 4 days
alternate between 2.5% benzoyle peroxide cream and homemade vitamic C serum
vitamin E oil from the gel capsule left on overnight
I also drink 3 large cups of green tea everyday and take 100mg of Vitamin B6 and 30mg of Zinc.
If you're really desperate to soothe irritation then try this:
-1 tsp of Plain Yogurt
-1 tsp of Honey
-1 generous squirt of lime juice or lemon juice
-3 or 4 dissolved aspirin tablets
-1 tsp of sugar
mix it all up and apply it as a mask, leave on for 1 hour or until dry. You can also use sugar as an exfoliator if baking soda is too harsh and use dissolved aspirin to spot treat.
why do you refuse to use accutane? try and use an antibacterial such as TCP(if you live in UK) or hydrogen peroxide, it will burn for a bit but that means it is working. also, where do you have it?
i am 14 and personal experience

Not sure why you refuse Accutane. If your desperate then you'll try it! Also, never scrub your face, always cleanse gently.
You should use accutane, it is the best about it you can get information from here http://ansmdh31.notlong.com/3AAL9ic
